Artillery in TAOW will be very "special", expect extremely long ranges and HUGE firepower.

Artillery will be a "specialized branch" of the player's forces, these units will function very well alongside scout units (such as recon helicopters, UAV's, etc.).

Too true , in fact, the very first reason that TAOW exists is to respond to those mods cancellations (there were a lot of projects we loved which were unfortunately canceled over the years , we decided to take matters into our own hands and we consider ourselves to be the "spiritual successors" of many of those great mods ).

would one of these mods be by any chance An Act of War??? because the main reason im so obsessed with TAOW is because AAOW was looking to become such a great modern combat mod... then it died. even though TAOW has now well surpassed what AAOW was trying to do. it seemed that in the earlier stages of TAOW before all the great ideas, it was trying to pick up the pieces of AAOW.

Yeah, An Act of War was a decent mod with Iraq as listed as one of the factions. The only mod to do so (that I'm aware of). I was really looking forward to it back in the day with the war and all, but now it's gone. R.I.P.

well now there's the "Iraq War: Global Conflict" mod you can find on Moddb that includes iraq. i also had high hopes for that mod and even though it's far from dead, progress has slowed to a trickle. and i dont expect even a beta anytime soon.infact it seems to be doing the same thing AAOW was doing in it's final month, no updates of the mod but the team kept denying that it was dead till they finally gave it away.

If you had played the game Sudden Strike, the range of long-range artillery can fire at in long distance...semi-end to end of the map..

I remember when I last play it I fire randomly in the map...though it has fog of war.. after my artillery ammo is depleted... I started to conquest the map I hitted almost of enemies all I have to do is to do some clearing operations. There are many casualties in the side of enemy leaving them less number of alive infantry and tanks...

Sudden Strike is the best World War II PC strategy games I have ever played. So much realistic...

In the modern era The Art of War will be the best mod in the History of ZH modding!

If Sudden Strike is very good and I played OFP, Arma, Call of Duty, IL2, Lock on, C & C generals 1 and 2, rome total war, BF1942, BF2, feelance, metal gear solid 1,2,3 and 4 and all Ace of combat, so that the knowledge that I am talking about the games and Taow will do the best strategy game of the modern era that success in the world

After the mod could be in games like C & C3 or world conflict but after the first C & C Zero Hour

all the best TAOW, R.I.P. AAOW.

Thanks Pyro

Absolutely!!! An Act of War mod is one of the main inspirations for us , in fact AAOW was the mod that made Marc want to enter the game modding world in the first place, it was a real pity they stopped development of one of the most promising (and favorite) ZH Projects , I personally loved to play AAOW and was shocked when development suddenly stopped

Too true , I hate when such promising mods die

I'm keeping my eye on that mod as well, I hope their project stays alive, the mod leader (Rezz) is an old pal of Marc (Marc has helped them in the past before starting the TAOW Project).

It's funny you mention Sudden Strike, when you mentioned long range artillery I recalled the good'ol Sudden Strike days (great game, it's definitely one of the most realistic strategy games ever made).

We love all those games, and I think that in a way we can consider TAOW to have a "bit" of them (air combat, realism, special forces, etc.)

We also thought of expanding to other games, unfortunately we are unsure at this point, (many of the team members are joining the Military and unfortunately we won't have too much time to modify games, an example is a teammate of ours which is already joining the US Army to become an M1 Abrams crewman).
